Go Big

Shoot. Wish I got a close-up of my new necklace. I don't normally buy jewelry because it's either cheap quality (I'm looking at you, Forever 21..) or out of my price range (JewelMint. Le sigh.). When my friends and I went to a sample sale last month, I saw this necklace for $5 and knew I had to snatch it up! It feels pretty sturdy and for $5? YES. Anyway, enough about my no-see necklace.. I went for color in this outfit. LOTS. I realized I usually go big or all black. And can someone PLEASE come over and iron my clothes?? Mom???

I agree with Melissa...a steamer is soooo awesome! It has almost replaced ironing for me! It's especially nice when you're not sure if something can be ironed or not, or it's a weird, hard fabric to iron...steam away baby! Love the color combo!

And I'm with Melissa—steamers are the bomb. That's what we used when I worked at Giant Retail Company: super fast and much easier than ironing. Just don't burn yourself on the steam. It's hot, and that hurts. (Duh.)

I love the combonation of the pink and different blues, it's very happy looking. The shoes are crazy cute, one thing I really enjoy about your style is how at ease you are with pairing colors.

A great place for cheap jewelry? Sears! Ive found some great necklaces and braclets over there that have lasted for years, and they look nicer than claires or F21 jewelry. (And yes, steamers-best thing ever! I hate ironing and steamers are super fast.)
